How long has it been since you re-watched American Graffiti?

I didn't see any tagiing on the American town walls, so why was it called American Graffetti?

Maybe it was called that because our lives are a blank wall?
People move in and out of our lives and leave their 'writings' and their marks on it?
And when it ends, we are left with a bunch of scribblings that mean nothing to anyone but ourselves?
That we can look back on it and smile?

American Graffiti was a compilation of pop culture pique, a harbinger of political changes, and the birth of an era that explodes the "Leave it to Beaver America" simply by saying farewell to it???..Set in a small town in Southern California, with a bunch of people who's existence in 1962 means the 13th and final year of the fifties, it correlates a cosmic awareness with an innocent societal disagreement.... ????People are happy, but not happy enough to want to stay the same.... ???The constant bond throughout the film is Wolfman Jack, the "supercool" disc jockey who creates a thousand different images of himself just by virtue of what he says on the radio...???He is illuminating as well as socially influential to a bunch of naive teenagers....???The music in this movie is extremely entertaining, as it signifies the end of an Eisenhower style Utopia..??? The couples that are paired off in this movie homogenize the attitudes and aspirations of these precocious 1962 teenagers, who are on the verge of growing up!! All of the characters in this film have an imperviousness to the objections related to a perceived totalitarianism brought on in the sixties, not just because the radical aspect of the decade has yet to be, but also, because locking horns with the authority figures is not second nature to them ...???(Even Big John Milner)... ???The bevy of Radicalism which besieges our nation over the remainder of this decade, (the 1960's) created a metamorphosis in social behavior that would change all Americans, even the people living in the town of Graffit, California!!!??? This movie superbly exemplifies the phrase "The calm before the storm" It gives the entire movie audience a crystal ball concept analysis report that sparks a bittersweet realization and empathy for everyone who plays a significant role in this George Lucas masterpiece!! ???Director George Lucas has never been better...????The cast is sensational!!and the film's unassuming demeanor surprisingly captures the honor of being one of America's greatest films on record!!! ????Five stars!!??? No question!! ????

Did I copy past that from a wiki? Did I add a bunch of ??? to make it fit the thread?


Yes? ;D

Excellent!  While many of us have seen American Graffiti more than once, has any one seen the sequal (More American Graffiti) more than once?

Drag racing, isn't that when a bunch of men dress up as women in sequined gowns, gaudy make-up, 4" spike heels, a bad wig and run to see who is faster?

Could he have been confusing you with the English Queen?

Or is it that you are confusing my question as being directed as you being a participant rather than a spectator I saw in the audience?
